How the process works:

design time! I'll hop into your existing site, or create a new one on my end, and begin working on your site and/or tasks you ve outlined. I'll reach out to you via email if I have any questions.

once your tasks are completed, I'll invite you to join me so we can go through feedback live. in the case of a new website, I'll have the overall structure, home page, and design style nailed down, ready for your review.
3
you have unlimited email communication and/or whatsapp access to me for the entire duration of our engagement, whether that's a half day or a full day.

once the day is complete, we'll determine what next steps look like. if you need another day, you can just book another session.

Please keep in mind that you are not purchasing a completed deliverable, but a block of hours in my calendar. Although I will work as quickly and efficiently as I can, there is no guarantee that we will be able to complete all of your wish list items in one day.
Prioritizing the items we work on together and being realistic in what can happen will lead to smoother sailing and a successful day.
If other tasks are remaining, you can book another day or half day to wrap them up.
-
Before booking, you don’t need anything! But before we kick off our day, there’s a few things you might need to have:
Copy (written text for your web pages)
Layout of the page structure or navigation (sometimes called tabs)
Solid branding and logo that you are happy with (including fonts, colors, and a high resolution version of your logo)
Images or stock photography you want to use
Domain and page descriptions for Google (optional)
If you don’t have all of these things right now, you’ll want to get them prepared before our day. If you need help gathering these elements, reach out before booking. I have team members who can help with copy, logos, branding, and website structure.

Full Day Rate - $1500
Half Day Rate - $750

No. I will continuously check in throughout the day to keep you updated on my progress. I’ll ask that you review the work in progress a few hours before we wrap up, so I can take into account any edits or adjustments needed. If need be, we will use Figma mockups for feedback on new pages and sections.
If the edits required will take longer than the allotted time, you can book another half day to tie up loose ends.
-
If any of the following apply to you, the day or half day rate would be a great fit:
You need a refresh or tune up of your existing Squarespace website
You need help moving your website from Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1
You set up your site yourself and now you want to add designer touches but are unsure how to do so
You have strategic goals for your website but are unable to achieve them yourself and don’t want to bother googling code fixes
If any of the following apply, the day rate might not be the right choice at the moment:
You’re looking for a complete website overhaul to address your overall website layout, copy, brand elements and SEO. See my full-scale website packages
If you’re on a platform other than Squarespace and plan to stay on that platform
If you’re not able to make yourself reasonably available for our scheduled day or complete your homework beforehand
You want a guarantee that all your requirements can be done in an exact timeframe or you require a proposal before booking
Your proposed tasks are very complex and in-depth
-
I provide 30 days of post support to answer questions about the work we completed together, but if you have further edits or revisions needed, you can book another day.
-
I’m located on the East Coast, but I can be flexible to work any hours needed to suit your schedule during our day together.
